The following re
port appears in a re

nal:—
"The coal companies
have not been able to
stock coal during the past
two months, as custom
ary during normal sea
sons.
"On the contrary, some
of them have been com
pelled to pick up consider
able coal from such stor
age piles as remained
over from the past mild
winter.
With labor at the mines
seriously short, and many
other causes contributing
toward a smaller produc
tion, the operators cannot
hold any hope to the gen
eral trade that there will
be an increase in produc
tion during the Fall
months."
We strongly urge
our customers to put
enough coal into their
cellar to last through
the winter.

room enough to house all of the
students.

HAHRISBU7IG TELEGRAPH
WILSON HIT HARD
BLOWBYMR.TAFT
Assails War and Mexican Poli
cies; Would Have Rec
v ognized Huerta
Ex-President Taft, in a copyright
article in the Yale Review for October,
discusses at length Issues of the presi
dential campaign, analyzing the record
of the present administration. Ex
tracts from his article follow:
"If within one month after the Lusl
tanla tragedy avowal or disavowal had
been exacted from Germany, as it was
later, by a threat of severance of diplo
matic relations in case of avowal, we
should have been in a much better
position than we are to-day. The
proneness of the administration to
write a note well and appropriately
phrased and to deem the incident
closed has exposed the nation to ridi
cule. The administration cannot say
that it has thus kept us out of war,
for it has itself demonstrated by the
result of its ultimate demand that it
might earlier have secured the same
result without loss of prestige and the
actual loss of lives which the delay has
entailed."
Mexican Policy Criticised
"The ntxt feature of Mr. Wilson's
foreign policy, the consideration of
which forces itself upon the electorate,
is that pursued in Mexico."
"Attempt is made to avoid responsi
bility for the palpable blunders In
Mexico by saying that the situation
was an 'inheritance' from the last ad
ministration. The slightest consid
eration of the facts and dates shows
the lack of weight In such a defense."
I "Had the Republican administration
| continued, it would have recognized
Huerta."
"I am surprised that Secretary Baker
seeks to justify President Wilson's re
fusal to recognize Huerta by saying
that I refused to do so. This Is very
far from the fact. With the proba
bility of settling the pending claims by
a short delay and with less than a fort
night before the coming into power of
a new President, it would have been
not only hasty and premature, but it
would have been lacking in proper
consideration for me to determine an
important policy for him. The great
European powers recognized Huerta,
but not until a month after President
Wilson came Into office. The last ad
ministration went out of power having
done nothing to embarrass the sit
uation with which President Wilson
had to deal."

Early Coal Buying Advisable
It's the part of wisdom to buy your winter supply of coal now.
Once the frost and ice and snow of winter get busy, it's pretty
difficult to keep the coal free of dust and dirt. Summer-mined
caol by the very nature of things is cleaner, the screening we
give it insures practically a complete absence of dust and dirt.
